> Having a quick way to sign your package to send it so pypi would be a great thing.

I guess we just need to make signing easy then.

Which remains a hard problem.



We've been working with PyPI to help integrate Sigstore, which makes signing (and verification) easier!

sigstore.dev


I'll have to check out sigstore.

Anything that makes signing/verifying easier is a welcome change.


What, exactly, is hard about signing?


We used to say that about https, and now we got letsencrypt.


LE made SSL/TLS easy, we need something similar for sign/verify of packages/software.

Another commenter mentioned sigstore.dev which looks potentially interesting.
